Musical memories

Reporter/Mike Brown That’s three decades of Big Blue Band directing excellence from left in top photo as Bill Grusendorf (1957- 72), Don Thoede (1972-81) and Jim Perry (1981-85) got together with scores of their former musicians Saturday at the Apache Pass Ice House. Below, Grusendorf had some special visitors. Nancy Baggett Coleman (L) and Rosemary Cumbie Lawrence were twirlers (then called majorettes) for his marching bands between 1962 and 1965 and Dr. John M. Weed III was drum major in 1962 and 1963. More photos, page 4A.
